Lyrics

Knee-Deep And Rising

Lyric: George Smith; Music: Kevin Reardon; Copyright 2007

Verse
I'm knee deep in the water and the river's on the rise
I'm knee deep in the water and the river's on the rise
The levee broke this morning under dark and heavy skies

The levee broke this morning after days of pouring rain
The levee broke this morning after days of pouring rain
It washed away the highway; wish it could’ve washed away my pain

Verse
It washed away the highway, so, I'm moving on to higher ground
Washed away the highway, now, I'm moving on to higher ground
But I'm knee-deep in the water, and the river's rising all around

The levee broke this morning after days of driving rain
The levee broke this morning after days of driving rain
It left nothing there behind it but it didn’t take away my pain
But it didn’t take away my pain
